As an older worker, I have a great deal of respect for millennials. Millennials will not put up with what us older folks put up with.

Because we can’t afford to. We are already overworked when salary increases, housing prices, and inflation are having an all out bare knuckle brawl. All while we survive through multiple “once in a lifetime” disasters.

I started a new role 3 months ago and I don’t feel like I’m being set up to succeed. There was basically no onboarding. I have no clue who to go to for anything. We have no central repository for old documents, so I’m constantly fumbling around & starting from zero. I keep finding systems or programs that someone was supposed to get me access to/train me on but never did. I’m so stressed out because I never know if I’m missing something huge. Is this normal..or do I need to start job hunting?
